Explanation:

The Battle of Saratoga was a turning - point in the American Revolution. After the American victory at Saratoga (Oct. 1777), France agreed to an alliance with America (Feb. 1778). This shows that the outcome of Saratoga was crucial in winning a foreign ally (France).

• Option A: Victory in the South was not directly led by Saratoga.

• Option D: The first major victory for the colonists was the Battle of Princeton (Jan. 3, 1777), not Saratoga.
